Eat, Drink, Play, Discover: Engaging the Imagination through the Senses to Discover Spanish-Speaking Cultures
Lindner, Blue
Learning Languages, v15 n2 p13-16 Spr 2010
At Sonrisas Spanish School, educators are interested in finding ways to teach children in the way children actually learn. Their mission is to create high quality, standards-based Spanish classes and curriculum materials that are both effective for teachers and also provide a positive foreign language learning experience for students. They value the human communication that a teacher provides, and they believe that this type of learning is much more effective than media-based programs. It is only through the human interaction of a teacher guiding students through a lesson that all of the senses are used. The senses then engage the imagination. The more this is done, the more effortless both teaching and learning feels. In this article, the author emphasizes that using senses allows youth to discover Spanish-speaking culture in ways they are used to. (Contains 4 resources.)
